Under a procurement conducted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) under a NASA research announcement (NRA) that required proposals to include detailed cost/price and technical data, and did not identify the procurement as one for commercial items under either Federal Acquisition Regulation Part 12 or the Commercial Space Act of 1998, a protest challenging the agency's rejection of a proposal for a commercial item that took exception to the NRA's stated data requirements is an untimely challenge to the terms of the NRA where the protest is first filed with the agency after the closing time for submitting proposals. 2. Agency evaluation reasonably found significant weaknesses in a proposal that failed to provide adequate data to support material aspects of the proposal, reasonably determined that proposal deserved a low overall rating, and reasonably rejected that proposal from further consideration. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-291102/html/GAOREPORTS-B-291102.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-291102/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-291102.pdf GAO/B-291102 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-291102 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-291102; HMX, Inc., B-291102, November 4, 2002;
